WELCOME TO RIRT

Library is the backbone of any civilized society and heart of any academic institution. The unique function of library is to acquire, organize, offer for use and preserve the available literature and information. Due to the rapid progress of advanced technologies both teachers and students have to keep in pace with the fast changing world.

Digital Library :
The libraries at Radharaman Group of Institutes acquire a prominent place among the students and the faculty members.

The total collection of the books in the library is more than 27620 in rits 14484 in rec 11072 in rirt, 4276 in rcp and 2980 in rips.

The libraries provide to students, staff and faculty members, the services for updating their knowledge and supporting research excellence with innovation and creativity in teaching/ learning activities.

At RGI these services are provided through the institutional and departmental libraries. To keep proper pace with the fast changes in technology, the knowledge hub of the library is enriched regularly by addition of new literature in the forms for text books, reference books, reports, proceedings, abstracts and indexes, encyclopedias, data books, standards, journals and data base on CD Roms. Certain new sections and services are also being introduced to raise the library standard to ISO- 9001-2000 standard.
